but now MY daughter wants permission to go out drinking and smoking and what-not, too!!!
Is this some new trend among 14-year olds? Drugs and alcohol are now so "normal" and "OK" that we actually think we can just ask our parents' permission and then we can go run wild????
On the one hand--I think it is outrageous that a teen would even think to ask for such a "priviledge" in the first place....
But on the other hand--I have seen so much outrageous behavior being dismissed as "O, typical teenager!"...that I wonder if some parents really are granting "permission" for this sort of thing since, after all, it's just so typical teen.
Has it become unusual to want to keep our kids from experimenting with drugs, cigarrettes and alcohol???
